A First Course in Atmospheric Numerical Modeling

By Alex J. DeCaria and Glenn E. Van Knowe

This book is written for advanced undergraduates and graduates in atmospheric science. It introduces students to the essentials of finite-difference methods, numerical stability, spectral methods, data assimilation and initialization, boundary conditions, and parameterization of subgrid-scale phenomenon. It also covers more advanced topics such as finite-volume methods, semi-Lagrangian and semi-implicit schemes, and chemical transport modeling. Practical programming and written exercises are included.
